Thank you IMSA! I'll have to watch it tonight after work.

Love watching this while racing simulation of this exact race in Project Cars 2. Shea Adam is excellent as always.

Watching a few of the past Long Beach races while waiting for the 2019 race to upload. The Vette’s and Porsche’s are super strong here. Going to watch yesterday’s race over and over again!, When it’s finally uploaded. Hurry hurry hurry I’m incredibly stoked for this.

This race was awesome to watch in person

You guys are the best for this. I get to watch again!

The audio gets better after a few minutes. Anyways thanks IMSA for putting this on KZread. My crappy cable has no channels that show any Racing. Only ball & stick sports.

Horrah, finally I can finish watching the race, your live stream had some really bad issues. Keep up the good work, this is one of the best race series in the world.

please keep posting full races/qualifying i dont have cable and its sooo hard to watch races! thank you IMSA!!!

Thank you IMSA! You Guys and Gals ROCK!

thank you IMSA for everything

good race, great coverage, thank you IMSA - still say it's the best series out there

whats up with the funky audio? lol music over the commentators?

Connor DeYoung Racing I was wondering the same thing. This is the worst quality audio I've heard imsa release. Whole time the formation lap race notes/discussion where going on you can't hear the commentary because they are playing street level audio over them. I'm only ten minuets in and I'm thinking about not continuing if it doesn't get better.

Have PAT LONG commentate more often. WE all like hearing his input and insights. Always great hearing from a current racer!

Thank you SO much IMSA Official! I don't get to watch your stuff live. Nor do I "text or social media"...but I have a question. Where do all the track side barriers, fences, advertising go after each race?

FINALLY! Thanks guys!

YES YES YES been waiting from saterday. thank u IMSA. GO ACURA!!!

GO CORVETTE!!!

There's always at least one jerk that downvotes right away. I wonder what their motivation is. Do they hate auto racing? Are they an open wheel fan? Nascar fan? I'm genuinely curious.

Ugh. There are always production issues with live broadcasts. Especially when the horrible Fox Sports is involved in ANY way. They always manage to do something to mess it up. Some people don't understand how great it is that IMSA gives us this content for free. The Blancpain GT Series (not the Asia one) puts their races on NISMO TV, but block it here in the U.S. because CBS SN carries the races in some form or another, but it is no substitute for being able to just fire up KZread and watching a good race.

I don't understand all the division amongst motorsport lovers, why can't people just appreciate it all... sounds like you have something against open wheel and nascar... and if not, why single out lovers of different kinds of motorsport, wth man

If I remember right, @IMSA publishes the Tuesday after the race. TY!

Dem engine noises, just Eargasm.

Was Squat Asserman the sound engineer for this race?

a good race and racingseries but seriously messed up by the audio at this one, i know u can do better IMSA and i'm sure next race(audio) will be good again.

Coming back to watch this race, what I think Tommy Milner here was doing at the end was trying to end his race 1 lap shorter, purposely letting Albuquerque pass on his final lap at the last turn.

What a RACE!!!

Thank you IMSA!! Was this race on the same weekend of Indy?

The audio on this is crazy!

Such a fun race!

Can’t hear the commentators!! Nice HD though 👍

Too bad the 911 Porsche had a failure was hoping they could make it. Congrats to Chevy corvette racing and Ford, both teams had a very clean race.

Great race!

Good ! Thank you IMSA !

Go Nasr

What's with the tv bumper music cutting in on this feed?

Literally gunna throw up from the helicopter for the first 7 and a half minutes of spinning around the start finish line... also wtf audio haha

I like the IMSA on FOX SPORTS theme in 45:37

I know there will be people who complain regardless on how the audio is setup for these uploads, but I know you will continue to improve moving forward. I'll usually be the first person to blame FOX for stuff like this, but anyways, great race and thanks for the upload :)

It's not Fox. It's IMSA TV. They share cameras, but this is IMSA's international feed. They control the camera switchers... and the audio. (You can see how they sometimes accidentally cut to a camera being used for a Fox interview and immediately cut away. IMSA directors are working their own switcher.) But it's not a simple matter of bad TV audio. It's the fact that their TV audio (engine sounds, music) is so much louder than the radio audio (commentators). What we are watching is a mix of the two, TV audio and radio audio. The good news is that it's very easy to fix (turn one knob, make one mouse-click), as they did later in the race. The bad news is they didn't fix it until later in the race. They didn't fix it at all during the Daytona 24 h. Most of the onboard cam audio was deafening. I know teenagers who could do a better job with the audio. I'd rather have these videos with crappy audio than no videos at all though, but it's so frustrating to know how simple this problem is to fix and how aggravating it is for us fans! It really takes me out of the race.

I somehow messed up the calculation from one timezone to another so I was one hour late. And then the livestream was lagging so I'm happy to see the race already uploaded :-)

I went here

T-minus 2 days until Long beach baby lets go!!

need to fix the audio...plz! I can't hear the announcers at times, and can't hear the cars at times either!

The audio is o.k. on my computer, but not so good on my xbox1

1:21:45 - Does anyone know whether the drivers can loosen their shoulder straps while driving if they need to? It would suck not being able to breathe properly while driving like that!

no GTD?

Or actually there

Hell yes

Thanks IMSA!

For just one day, Saturday being the day of this race, you could have gotten a cheap, General Admission ticket (no reserved seat, just allowed to sit in certain bleachers) for $65. gplb.com/ticket-prices/ [I have been several times and it was worth every penny. Missed this year but I will be back.]

OFF TOPIC: Is it a determined effort by the City of Long Beach and the Television Broadcaster to not show any vision of the Queen Mary. Sure seems like it.

Are the prototypes DPI's, or LMP 2's?

They are both DPis and LMP2s. But since the DPis are basically standart LMP2s with an engine comming from one of the manufacturers, the difference between the two isn´t huge.

What is the DEAL with the stupid LOUD music that oversteps the commentators? Pat Long was talking for a bit, and this LOUD music just steps all over him. Thanks for the upload IMSA. On race re-starts, a small subscreen following GTLM and GTD sure would be nice. All the good moves happen and we miss it.

I missed last years race so, I had to watch it first the now i will watch this. Hope there was at least more green flag racing than stoppages

Okay. So. I AM so very thankful for IMSA putting the races on youtube. BUT. Why is the commentary audio so messed up at the beginning of the videos? Also. Can we get more GTLM coverage? That would be great. I’m so tired of the same cars almost always ruining THIS RACE. At Long Beach. Those stupid Porsches. Every year they do SOMETHING. And aside from P Long commentating this race, who are the two other morons commentating the races? Geez louise. I think they’re worse than Creamer. So many times, you show video of talking to drivers, but no audio, and you cut to something else. Why? But again, thank you for posting them up for us to watch. Maybe just try to fix those minor issues for us.

have to say the Cadilliac's look pretty ugly, it just doesnt make sense theyre not a sporty brand as hard as they try to be

The sound mixing is awful.

I'm only 11 minutes in and this is already painful to watch and listen to. Multiple instances of different conversations from pit road and the booth talking at the same time, and commentary/cars/music all overlapping in such a way that i can't make out any of it. This is amateurish imsa, c'mon, as if the live streams themselves weren't unwatchable enough on imsa.tv over the weekend and now i'm stuck with this crap?
